title: Mitochondrial DNA sequence of Mongolian redfin (Chanodichthys mongolicus).
abstract: Monglian redfin is a kind of freshwater aquaculture species which has an important economic value in China. In this study, we report the complete sequence of mitochondrial genome of Monglian redfin. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence is determined to be 16,621 base pairs (bp) in length and contain 13 protein-coding gene (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, large (rrnL) and small (rrnS) ribosomal RNA, and the non-coding control region. Its total A+T content is 55.98%. We also analyzed the structure of control region, six conserved sequence blocks (CSBs) (CSB-1, CSB-2, CSB-3, CSB-D, CSB-E and CSB-F) and one potential termination-associated sequence were detected and the control region also included a 2-bp tandem repeat with eight repeat times.
